Reply to comment by DirectorBeneficial48 in NJ Transit Will Advance Seven Programs Including Bus Garage Electrification In North Jersey, Solar Bus Shelters, Electric Mini-Buses, Microtransit Shuttles and Bike Sheds with CRRSAA Funds by TrafficSNAFU

especially when they refuse to build any new rail regionally, and are hamstrung from building toward/into nyc for (reasonable) fear of 10 million middle men from one million agencies sticking their hands in the states pockets.

I don't think its case of refusing, I think its more a case of a lack of money stacked against a ton of other capital projects.

There's over 4 billion for the turnpike widening. Could build some kind of rail with that

That's Turnpike's money, not NJ Transit's money. It could be NJ Transit money but the way Trenton funds NJ Transit is inadequate. No seperate, dedicated operating budgets and the capital budget is a hand to mouth affair with funds pulled from all over the state budget.
